Not everyone loses weight right away, but if you stick with the program you will lose...
A couple of things:
Several people mentioned water, but it bears repeating. You actually retain water if you don't drink enough.
Are you exercising?
Cheese stalls some people, so if the situation doesn't improve, maybe cut back on cheese.
Calories - do NOT worry about calories. I don't know the quantities you are eating... but maybe you aren't getting enough? At your weight you should easily be eating between 1800 and 2100 calories... I doubt you are anywhere near that.
If you don't eat enough, your body can go into starvation mode, and holds onto your fat.
As a matter of fact, just a few days into induction I would hardly worry about anything at all. Your body is going through an adjustment period, it doesnt' know what is happening to it yet. Soon, it will find its balance, and you will begin losing the weight.
Hang in there!
